Every image or font in a web page is a request that can fail or slow the page. For tiny assets, a data URI removes that request entirely. Hand-encoding base64 is something nobody should be doing manually.
Encode text or a dropped file as a base64 data URI. Use it for small images in emails, where server paths are unreliable, and for one-off assets under a few kilobytes that you inline into CSS or HTML.
